I haven't tried them, but I think Volkl V-Pros should be good. I've heard others saying good things about Volkl.

if you're going to be skiing in Utah a lot you should without a doubt get a fat ski, with at least 85mm at the waist. no reason to go any thinner, unless you race or spent all your time in the park. Bandit XXX, pocket rocket, stormrider DP, v explosion, stomp, big daddy....etc. etc. your choice are endless. demo if you can and then decide.

Don't ever say were not getting any pow pow. And don't ever say were getting shit loads. Just don't speculate on next season or you'll totally jinx it. You don't want to piss of oular.

But as far as all mountain...i used the pockets last season, and they ruled everything. Big mountain terrain park, half pipe..they went everywhere. They weren't the BEST choice for any ONE place...but for a single ski going everywhere, they did damn good. The only downfall to the ski was that they were too soft for HEAVY spring pow.

homophobia is gay

last time it was so cool, i was walking outside and the grass kept saying ouch as i walked on it, and then i looked up and pulled a star out of the sky with my hand and took it apart

line motherships, Pocket Rockets, and that ones that i own.. Volkl V explosive's all work great for all mtn ridin. I think most powder skis would do the job.

the volkl v explosive is a sick ski. the 180 is a really good all around ski. the 190 is a huge ski. so it just depends on how you like to ski. if you go huge and make huge turns, get the 190, and if you want a ski that will be better is trees and stuff get the 180. it is a sweet ski though. i think the explosive 180's backround is white, not black.

Hey dorsey I heard a lot of good things from metler and matt patrick last year about the bandits, and tom klug (top psia level, i forget the highest) proformed some rossis this year that were he said were really badass. Didn't you have scratches already? Are you just getting another ski in addition to those.

How can you say anything about the Seth Pistols when none of you have ever ridden them, nor seen them ridden? K2 makes a good ski, sometimes, but how can you speculate about something you have no idea about?


Nobody better say the 1080 either, WORST OFF PISTE SKI EVER! If you don't take my word for it, take it from Powder Magazine.


Its not how good you ski, but how good you look on the lift line that counts.

I highly reccomend some Volant Machetes. They are twins and work well all over the mountain.
